CiviCRM Tutorials

After an internal event was created in CiviCRM, it needs to be posted in the calendar to make it visible to the public. External events only need to be posted in the calendar. Follow these steps:

1. On the main Joomla menu click on Components >> ZapCalendar >> Events
2. In the right-hand upper corner click on the New button
3. Enter the 'Title' and select a category
4. In the 'Location' field enter either the venue address in a standard one-line format (e.g. "222 First St, Bellevue, WA 98005") or enter the vehicle type (e.g. "Teleconference")
5. Enter the event start and end date and time
6. In the 'Description' field enter a brief description - this will be displayed in the pop-up box, which will appear when visitors hover over the event in the calendar
7. On the right-hand side under the 'Link' tab locate the 'Link event to' field and click on the "URL" radio button
8. Enter the 'URL Link' (For internal events: See the Create Internal Event tutorial to learn how to identify the URL; For external events: copy the URL from the page of the event)
9. In the upper right-hand corner click on the Save button
